Actually...
My mom and grandmother (both truckers) told me to beware of black ice. I don't suppose anyone knows of a way to spot it before it becomes trouble or any particular areas where it is prone to show up.
I understand it's called black ice for a reason but...still. Figured I'd ask.
Dm:
Dispatcher, Fleet Manager, Driver Manager
The primary person a driver communicates with at his/her company. A dispatcher can play many roles, depending on the company's structure. Dispatchers may assign freight, file requests for home time, relay messages between the driver and management, inform customer service of any delays, change appointment times, and report information to the load planners.

Bridges are prone to black ice first well before it pops up on the road ways so make sure to take it easy on bridges also if you have fog lights keep them on at night if you're on a dry road and the road in front of you looks wet or shines from the fog lights it's usually a good sign of black ice.
